“ Violence is never the way,” but over time it has become the way to solve problems and it is constantly evolving. This matter is terrifying for both parents and students. It is sad to know that our society has become so dangerous.
“ Violence has escalated with this younger generation, from how it was when I was growing up,” said Desoto parent Taye Woodard.
In today’s world, it’s far more serious than a conflict and the fight that follows it. Fists have turn into guns. Nails have turn into knives, and blood has replaced tears. Our once pure-hearted, innocent children have grown to be uneducated, unsuccessful, heartless adults. “ [Today’s youth] is not fighting anymore, now they’re shooting each other, killing each other, and jumping each other, and nothing gets resolved,” said Desoto Taye Woodard.
The cause of fighting and drama has changed through the years, but it has taken a change for the worst. “ I think you should only fight if you have to,” said freshman Kala Antwine.
Some students think it’s okay to fight, where as some students have fallen into peer pressure and think its cool to do so. But, who’s there to tell them they’re wrong, nobody. Some of these people have become a victim of their surrounding, “ What they see is what they do.”
Sometimes the wonder that ponders in the minds of the world is, will this madness ever come to an end?
“ It’s a never ending story, if you fight one person, usually someone get mad, and someone else wants to get involved and then it just continues,” Desoto parent Taye Woodard.
The anger of so many people has caused a rage of violence that may be something more than they can bear. Life is too hard and too short for this absurd behavior, and we, as a whole need to bring these people to a realization of this.”
